    Rheem A/C Heat pump Compressor motor possibly going bad.
    Hi, I have a Rheem model RXQJ-A10J Heatpump/AC unit. I can't seem to find this model anywhere online. I'm pretty sure the compressor motor is starting to go bad, but I can't find parts. The unit starts up and the exhaust fan on top runs fine, but the other motor makes a loud buzzing noise until, what I believe is a power or heat overload, then shuts off. Also when it shuts off there is a burst of air that slowly goes away.

    I wish I could afford to hire someone to come out, but I don't have 600 or 700 dollars to pay someone to put in a what I could buy for $100. My numbers are probably off on the part, but I won't know until I can find what part to replace. Any help I could get would be great. That is also assuming I can buy it since I am not licensed. I will list all the numbers I got from the system panel

    Model RXQJ-A10J
    Serial F3395
    208/240 volts 60 Hz

The thermostat is operating/clicks on when desired temperature is more that the actual, but no action at the compressor or fan. We even switch thermostats from other unit in house and both operate the other unit correctly.
